Quickoffice launches Quickaccess: A mobile file streamer - CNET
Summary
Its a streaming technology that will let you access and edit office documents on your phone without having to depend on native mobile versions of the desktop software. Itll simply take your work from wherever its stored (either on your hard drive or in the cloud), re-render it and then compress it to stream over the Web at a fifth of its original size. All of this work is done on an array of servers, meaning any number crunching is going to be offloaded from your mobile devices puny processor for the sake of speed. You can search using a single index, and even edit a file at the same time as other people, even if its something like an Excel spreadsheet--something typically reserved for services like Editgrid or eXpresso. In the demo I saw, they were working on a Google spreadsheet with the changes being pushed back live in a page we were viewing in a regular Web browser.
